Oh, but the privet berries were purchased locally. I got a florist to give them to me at cost and I got the curly willow from someone's yard. A lady was pruning her tree and I asked if I could have some for my wedding. It was all a bit of a nightmare being that it was on the day before my wedding but when it all came together, it made me sooo happy. They were GORGEOUS.

posted by octgirl 2 years agoWhat a great job you did. Don't know if you work or what you do but you should try be a florist even if it's just a hobby.
